Arrivals & departures ...

Earlier in the week Australia Post so kindly left a little package on my door step with a delightful little quilt inside from my DQS4 partner, Maya from Pavanshree.

It is very sweet and the little quilting stitches are magnificent.

Maya very generously included; 5 beautiful fat quarters, a sweet strawberry pin cushion and some great stickers, which disappeared as soon as the kids got home from school!

Thank you so very much Maya!

I have spent much of my time this week at my machine working on my swap quilt.

I finally finished my little tree last night and waved it good bye this morning, it is off to a place far, far away ...

I am sorry to see this one go ...

To everyone who has congratulated my sweet Megan thank you so very much! She is has been overwhelmed by all of your kindness. She has certainly been spurred on by all of the excitement this week! She has had her pencils out and has been very busy sketching away her design for next year’s competition! J

I received a pretty exciting offer this week that has provided me with another excuse to purchase so more fabric. I have made two trips to Amitie ... so you can return from your holiday next week Jenny feeling quite confident that the rent has been paid this month J!

We have had a quite mild week this week and today has been glorious. Right now I am going to go make myself a cup of tea and sit out on the deck and watch the kids run around like loonies before I cook tea. Have a great weekend!

Gorgeous quilts given and recieved. The backs are just as beautiful as the fronts. What is happening with your Tree Of Life - are you still doing that one or are there just too many ideas swirling around in your head? ;-)

That top quilt is so pretty...it's very much like the Hawaiian quilts I learned to make while I lived on Molokai. And your tree quilt...I don't know how you managed to part with it. It's absolutely gorgeous!

your tree is so incredibly gorgeous, and the quilting just takes my breath away. i hope one day to be able to be half as good as that on my machine. :) whoever is the recipient is lucky beyond belief!!!!

G'day Kellie
I'm only a newbie to your blog & I've gotta say 'I'll be back' .... that's for sure. Your Doll Quilt is devine - just love it, love it & the one you received is delightful as well although I've gotta say I don't understand why they are called Doll Quilts - sorry it will be quite obvious I'm all very new to this ... I'll be back to have a poke around your blog and maybe - well that's a silly word cause I know I'll be learning more from your blog. Can I just ask - are you turning your edges in on all your applique? OOroo ... Bethel

Well done, Megan (did she win??) - what lovely work, and well done Mum too! That tree is something special! Thank you very much for your nice comment and holiday wishes. Apologies for the delay in responding – kids and holidays got in the way! I am now back to blogging and hope you will visit again soon.
